Chart Check [Billboard 200]: Drake Drops From #1 After 9 Consecutive Weeks

Published: Thursday 14th Jul 2016 by Rashad
drake-2016-views-763x717

The Billboard 200 reign of Drake‘s fourth studio album, ‘Views,’ has been nothing short of historic.

Topping the tally for a whopping 9 consecutive weeks, the project has undoubtedly set the streaming bar extremely high for any act to follow.  With over 1 billion collective streams of its content, as of time reporting ‘Views’ has “sold” a cool 2.5 million units (with only half of that figure coming from traditional sales).

However, as the age old adage goes, all good things must come to an end.  For, as previously reported, rock group Blink 182 rocked the rapper’s tenure at the top this week with their latest project.  But, fans of Drizzy needn’t worry.  Reports are already indicating he will most likely be #1 again next week.

Until then, see this week’s updated chart below:

      It should be still in top 4 it came out 2 months ago but the REAL TEA is ANTI still being in top 6 5months later hehe.

      • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

        .
        Idgaf about Canti!!! That album fell out the top 5, 6 weeks after its release. Im praising my fav on going 12 weeks with in the top 4 and NOT ONCE FALLING BELOW!!! The cliff is that way sis ???

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 14, 2016

        LOL..DID U SEE THE SAY MOLLY THE UNRULY MAID GOT DRAGGED BY ONE OF THE NAZI FOR CLAIMING TO BE A NAZI….I SCREAMED!!!!!!

      • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

        Chile! @ISpeak has always called out @VagisalCream for her fake ass split personalities! The bish has been dragging fRih for year’s on this blog and than all of a sudden wants to flip a bitxh and ride for her! @VagisalCreams split personalities are getting worse by the second!

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 14, 2016

        Exactly..MOLLY seems like one of those boys that was sent to NEVERLAND and got touched inappropriately, so it can’t seem to make up his mind on what team he plays for. THAT CONFUSION SEEMS TO RUN THROUGH!!!!!!!!!

      • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

        Kiii!

  2. Molly July 14, 2016

    Blonde weave killa haha keep slaying her daddy drake.

    • RihNavy July 14, 2016

      Not you hiding behind the @Urn Stan in the other post because you can’t take my good sis Annalise on your own. You’re pathetic.

    • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

      But how much Selena Sell sis? Has her tour grossed $50m yet ?!! Is the bish still trying to sing on her tour?

  3. RihNavy July 14, 2016

    Kiiii! He dropped out of the BB Hot 100 faster than Aaliyah dropped out of the sky.

    • The Thot You’ll Never Be July 14, 2016

      DEATH ?

  4. Slay_Hive July 14, 2016

    Yaaaasss at LemonSLAYED still slaying the charts effortlessly!

  5. Stephy July 14, 2016

    Maxwell waited 7 years to put out that coma inducing forgettable mess. I am so disappointed. Wanted my damn money back. But, whatever. Glad, he’s winning…I guess. And, I’m happy to see Lemonade & ANTI still in the top 5. Beyonka needs to stop playing & put her s*** on ALL streaming platforms. So she can slay effortlessly. If the SLAYmation video was released on VEVO, and the song was released on ALL streaming platforms after that huge Superbowl performance, Queen Bey would’ve definitely gained a #1 hit imo. And, her album would’ve been #1 for longer than a week if it was released on all streaming platforms. But, whatever…………….

    ANTI is the best album released by a pop star this year so far.

    • Queenly July 14, 2016

      I agree about Anti. I can’t believe it got so many mediocre reviews. Anti has some of Rihannas best songs and vocals of her career. The rollout was just so messy that it turned the masses off. I think that also contributed to the poor reviews.

      • Coolness July 15, 2016

        The fact that reviewers based their reviews of this album on it’s messy rollout is proof that music journalism is dead.

  6. Royalkev July 14, 2016

    Yonce done came around here with all this good karma and lived (for almost 3 months) in the BB200 top 5 with pure sales! #Crown …

    • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

      Yas!!! Not to mention Lemonade is the first and only 2016 release to sell 2m WW in pure sales!!! But let the Slavi seeth and ing to Drake for dear life ?☕?☕?☕?☕

      • Royalkev July 14, 2016

        Bey’s been slaying hard with this album and tour! Bey’s career will be turning 20 next year and seeing her have this kind of success for twenty years – straight, isn’t a common thing! I’m so in awe! I appreciate the fact that she’s only getting better with age!

      • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

        Yas! Bey has been slaying almost 2 decades!!! Lemonade also Mark’s her 10TH CONSECUTIVE ALBUM TO SELL 2M WW!!!!

  7. IStan4Rihanna. (British Navy) July 14, 2016

    And he will be back at #1 this week.

    .

    So…

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 14, 2016

      Exactly!!!! its already predicted at this point. STREAMING IS HELPING HIS ASS THO

    • Navy July 14, 2016

      Proud of my rihhh! Also enjoying the history in the making of queen giselle!

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 14, 2016

        Exactly, TBH FRIH and Bey are both winning, would like either of them to be doing BORELOR’S SWIFT NUMBERS, but we all know how that works in this industry. P.S can u imagine if bey and frih were non existent, there will no black girls representing at this rate..LMAO

      • Royalkev July 14, 2016

        ^ Very true!

  8. Grande the Way July 14, 2016

    9 weeks is insane. No other male artist can touch Drake right now. Anti and Lemonade have both been consistent in the top 10, impressive. I’m also surprised to see Dangerous Woman still in the top 20. She hasn’t promoted it since May. Its doing well worldwide but pretty bad in the US. Hopefully Into You will turn things around now that it is taking off

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 14, 2016

      I would be more impressed if he did that with pure sales…but congrats to him.

  9. LB July 14, 2016

    He’ll be back to #1 next week, Anti still slaying after 5 months. So much slayage on one chart.

  10. BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 July 14, 2016

    Congrats Blink 182. Beyoncé still in the top 5 mainly off PURE SALES & 4 Emmy Nominations ???

  11. RihNavy July 14, 2016

    Tinashe’s new song is trash.

  12. Keri Qween July 14, 2016

    Yeah..he’ll he back next week lol.

    I can’t at ANTI being top 10 for half of the f****** year ?. I remember the album was actually top 5 for several months as well.Slay Rih!

  13. HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

    US only
    According to BuzzAngle, Lemonade has sold 3,015,858 tracks and been streamed 297,197,776 times (exclusively on Tidal) since its release
    .
    Not the culturally “irrelevant” Bey slaying like this!!! ?☕?☕?☕?☕

    • Datredd23 July 14, 2016

      Work has sold over 5 million alone

    • Datredd23 July 14, 2016

      Anti is over 1 billion streams

      • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

        Lol! Work has NOT SOLD 5m worldwide, maybe its 5m Worldwide with equivalent sales but not in pure sales. The bish has a 3x platinum certification yet only sold 1.6m, than her next biggest market is the UK which has work certified platinum with sales of 600k and after that is 140k Austrilia, than 120k Sweden, than 100k for Italy than 80k for Spain. Those are her biggest markets and that doesn’t even add up to 3m. The sales only get smaller as the market’s are smaller. But if Im wrong do provide a receipt,
        .
        Also Lemonade has been streamed over 600 million times through Tidal alone. A streaming service that only has 4m subscribers compared to Spotify’s 32m

  14. Keri Qween July 14, 2016

    King and Queen of the Hot 200 & Hot 100 tho ?

    And Too Good is coming for wigs. It is the next official single. He and Rih might have another #1 when radio and promo picks up ?

  15. HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

    This Tea tho!!! Meanwhile the suppose biggest star on the planet is absent LMFAOOO!!!

    • Datredd23 July 14, 2016

      Stop shading Rih Anti Is at a billion streams and has crossed over 1.3 million copies worldwide pure sales after giving away 1.4 million free copies

      Continued success of work and needed me

      • Annalise July 14, 2016

        LMAO at the excuses!!!! What do you mean by ‘ after giving away 1.4M’ for free? ???? It was a Tidal exclusive for 24 hours, while Lemonade was a tidal exclusive for 48 hours and still managed to outsell Wh0rehanna in a matter of weeks.

      • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

        Bitxh stfu! Ill continue to Shade that goat as long as the Slavi keep coming for Bey!
        .
        Im going to need you stop with these FUXKING EXCUSES!!! Cheatanna has always sold albums better outside the US. She gave away 1m to US fans and that 400k is a claim by Tidal yet no receipts have ever been provided. They claimed she SOLD 400k in 24hrs but when receipts couldn’t be provided all of a sudden she gave away an extra 400k kiii!!! #SmokesnMirrors

  16. LB July 14, 2016

    @Keri,

    Have you been seeing the AWT meet and greet pics on Instagram, Rih is the best, she loves to interact with her fans and isn’t snobbish about it. Love her for that.

    • Keri Qween July 14, 2016

      I havent seen them babe ill go look

      Shes always so down to earth with the Navy

      Shes the whole reason someone switched their entire personality and began using social media and trying to be raunchy

    • Cops Give A Damn About A Negro. Pull A Trigger Kill A N**** He’s A Hero (Tyler) July 14, 2016

      DEATH @ “Rihanna loves interacting with fans”. Then explain why she punched one in the face with a mic?
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVOBnyo9laU

  17. Annalise July 14, 2016

    *Momma Dee voice* Bay-BAEE!! LEMONADE is still slaying me hunnie!!!! If she adds more FWT dates then she is definitely coming for Madge’s wig!! The SLAVI will just have to deal. When will the “Black Madonna”? KIIIII!

    • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

      Kii never!!! She’s barely averaging 1.1m a show and she has 75 shows! She had 36 stadiums when she announced the tour but we all know she had to downsize a few ????!!! Hopefully those stadiums pull in 4m a date because thats the only way she’ll outgross Diamonds Tour.

    • Cops Give A Damn About A Negro. Pull A Trigger Kill A N**** He’s A Hero (Tyler) July 14, 2016

      Do you think that she’ll add more dates? She’s already deprived herself by not releasing her album on all streaming platforms. So adding more dates is the least she can do lol. I really wanna see her break this record.

      • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

        I think she will add more but I don’t think it will be many. Im worried she won’t go to Brazil because of that damn v**** lol! She needs to add New Zealand and Australia! Also Asia has been dying for for some Bey dates!!!

  18. Keri Qween July 14, 2016

    ANTI is the 7th best selling album worldwide in pure sales

    Work alone like someone else mentioned sold 5 million worldwide

    Carry on ??

    • Keri Qween July 14, 2016

      And ANTI is also #5 as the best selling album in the US

      But on both lists, worldwide and US, Drake is above Yonce for best selling album kii what happened to Streams from the 6 ?

      • Cops Give A Damn About A Negro. Pull A Trigger Kill A N**** He’s A Hero (Tyler) July 14, 2016

        So you admit it, Lemonade and Streams From the 6 are both outcharting/outselling AUNTI?

  19. Cops Give A Damn About A Negro. Pull A Trigger Kill A N**** He’s A Hero (Tyler) July 14, 2016

    How much has AUNTI sold in traditional sales compared to Lemonade and Views?

    • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

      Not 500k thats for sure ????

      • Cops Give A Damn About A Negro. Pull A Trigger Kill A N**** He’s A Hero (Tyler) July 14, 2016

        Is it really only selling around 7k per week? lol

      • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

        Kiii !!! Yes it is! I just checked HDD and Canti is at 3,500 in actual sales. 87% of this weeks tracking week has been accounted for ????!!!

      • Cops Give A Damn About A Negro. Pull A Trigger Kill A N**** He’s A Hero (Tyler) July 14, 2016

        Wow!!! The true struggles of a SINGLES artist. Well, at least the Navy has “work” to cling to lol

      • HailLegendBeysus July 14, 2016

        Lmao!!! Le Struggle to sell an album! Looks like Bey will be Widening that WW total album sales gap ?????!!!

      • #JACKIE July 14, 2016

        Anti’s sales are lower than ANALess’ T-Cell count.?

    • #JACKIE July 14, 2016

      Stay under the bridge where you belong A*** troll.

      • RihNavy July 14, 2016

        I SAID, what I SAIDT.

      • Annalise July 15, 2016

        DEATH, you better drag @JACKED-OFF-PENIS before I do!

  20. Theman July 14, 2016

    Phuck this streaming shyt. Make albums cheaper. Album sales increase when they do that. Promote full albums & hit singles. Mix radio up. I’m not impressed that streaming is keeping an album in the upper tier of the charts. It’s impressive when these artists move pure units..

  21. ow Reddish tran ivy blokz Need UK timely Ukuyikiji July 15, 2016

    Nice
